I've started taking spironolactone for PCOS. I've noticed my weight has been fluctuating. Can spironolactone lead to weight loss as one of its effects?
When I started taking spironolactone for my PCOS, I lost about 2-3 kgs in the first couple of weeks. But my doctor told me it was just water weight because the medicine is a diuretic, not actual fat loss. My weight stabilized after that.
I wish it caused effortless weight loss so I could eat all the momos I want! Honestly, it just makes you pee a lot, so you might feel lighter due to losing water bloat, but it doesn't melt away fat. You still have to watch your food cravings.
While spironolactone can reduce water retention and make you shed water weight, sudden or significant weight loss is not a standard effect. If you are experiencing rapid weight drop, please consult your doctor to ensure your dosage is correct and healthy.
Haan, isse thoda weight loss toh dikhta hai starting me, par woh mostly water weight hota hai, na. Kyunki ye body se extra fluid bahar nikalta hai. Actual fat loss ke liye toh wahi normal diet aur mehnat karni padegi.
Let's be clear: spironolactone is a water pill, not a weight loss drug. Any initial drop you see on the scale is just fluid loss. Don't rely on it for fitness goals; consult your doctor for actual health concerns.

Beta, this medicine is a diuretic and sheds water, which is why the weight drops slightly. Drinking barley water (jau ka paani) also helps naturally with water bloat. But if you feel weak or dizzy, don't ignore it and see your doctor immediately.
